I don’t know what this casserole is officially called, but it basically has chili on the bottom and cornbread on the top. We had it with cole slaw for something a little less dense!

Grilled chicken that Andy grilled back in July that we had in the freezer, cous cous, and peas.

Blueberry waffles and sausage. Meg ate two whole waffles (dipped in syrup, of course!)! She still left me with enough to have for breakfast a couple of times, though!

We’re getting back into the swing of things now, so more dinner posts to follow (hopefully, on a more regular basis!).

Curry-squash soup and pork potstickers. I love that soup so much I had it for lunch three days last week. Andy wishes it were more hearty. We’ll probably have it a few more times this winter 🙂

We’ll be in Hannibal this weekend for my 10 year high school reunion and Folklife Festival, so probably no meals to post, so this one from last weekend will have to tide you over.

Pork steaks, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and fried green pepper. The last real meal prepared in our Swisher house kitchen!

Broccoli-cheddar soup and homemade bread!

Roasted chicken (the precooked kind…they were on sale!), baked sweet potato fries, green pepper rings. The peppers were a last minute inspiration, but I think they turned out well. Kind of tasted like fried okra.

Andy eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches nearly every day and gets made fun of all the time (mostly by me). I think I would eat this every day if the ingredients were this good!

Fried egg sandwiches (eggs from our chicken who has been chowing down in the compost pile a lot recently, making her egg yolks even more yellow) with fresh, homegrown tomatoes, turkey bacon, and cheddar cheese. Also, chocolate-banana “smoothies.”

I have several dinners to post that Andy’s bugging me about getting up, so here you go!!

Meat loaf, mashed potatoes, home grown green beans. Perfect!!!
